Kogi Bulgogi Fun Meet and KPOP Chicken!

My love affair with Kogi Bulgogi started way before they knew me. Each time I go to a lunch break or dinner, I would immediately think of them as first on the list. The thing I love the most is their Dolsot Bibimbap and I just jazz it up by putting more chili sauce because I love it super spicy. Aside from that, I also order a family size Kimchi Salad so it would present a cold contrast to the hot bibimbap. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. As far as I know, it's the best Bibimbap in town and price wise, it's reasonable so there is no contest on this. We also went here for the Kogi Fun Meet which they hold I think on a regular basis, so follow them on Facebook if you want to join that.

Then we had lunch served!

The California Roll is good and filling. They make this fresh and only serve it while you order. There are other good items on the menu that are worthy of praise but this one's good.

This is Pa Jun or Korean Scallion Pancakes. It is more savory than eggy. I guess that is the effect of the scallions on the pancake. It's smell permeates throughout the egg and it would be a really great thing to eat for starters. We had more things ordered but this next one is free!

Korean Banchan are starters to any meal in Korea. It is also served every time you order a meal in Kogi Bulgogi. They are keeping it authentic unlike some restaurants that would probably charge you a fee just for this. I love the anchovies and of course the hot kimchi!

All time favorite Japchae! You can't leave Kogi Bulgogi without ordering this from he menu. Word of advice though is to eat this while it's hot. It tends to stick to each other when it gets cold but nonetheless it's absolutely good and tasty!

The piece de resistance, this is Kogi Bulgogi's KPOP Chicken. It's their answer to the latest Korean chicken craze. It's a household favorite in Korea which they commonly call as Yangnyeom. This is their KPOP Chicken Sweet Soy Flavor. It's not too salty, crispy but must be eaten while its hot. It is the favorite of the kids. For those who doesn't want it to be too spicy, please order this version of KPOP Chicken! It's available in 4, 6 or 8 pcs.

My favorite is the Kogi Bulgogi KPOP Chicken in Spicy Soy. I love the wings dipped in this spicy sauce and it's so good if you pair it with the hot Kimchi Rice which I think is only found in this restaurant. I can't wait to try it again so I'll go back this weekend just for the KPOP Chicken goodness I've been craving for!

Plus I love the Banana Ice Cream which totally beats the heat!

As for me, I still love Kogi Bulgogi front and end. They even have me immortalized in the shelves of Kogi Bulgogi in Gateway Mall in Quezon City. Whatever it is they are serving from these restaurants, I love the food, I love the shots of Lemon Soju, I love the Bibimbap and the new KPOP Chicken. They are making everything interesting and I will surely go back for more. Need I say more?!

The Chance To Be The Next WeChat Star!

It's been three long and fun years getting 355 million registered accounts since its inception. WeChat has definitely made my social life so good with its great features and exclusive promos. Remember in 2013 when Iya Villania and Drew Arellano appeared on TV for a WeChat commercial? Well, it's going to be another momentous event to see more of WeChat this 2014 as they launch a brand new TVC this May. Isn't that amazing?!

Best of all, they are getting one of the country's top fashion influencer. Who else is going to be with him/her? IT COULD BE YOU! No joke. To become a part of this shoot, you just have to do a few things. Just take four (4) SELFIES beginning today until early May whilst portraying the expressions happy, angry, sad and surprised. Then share those through the “Moments” section of WeChat. Then take screenshots of it and then send it to the official Facebook page. On that post, just make sure you tag @WeChat Philippines. Wouldn't you like to be part of this awesome shoot? :)

WeChat has always been the perfect mobile chat application that perfectly fits our lifestyle. No matter how you feel, it's the great app that can suit your mood and can easily be communicated with your friends and family. I admire Drew and Iya when they did the first commercial because no matter how busy they were in their respective shows, they still keep it a point to get in touch with technology as wonderful as this. WeChat’s “Video Call” functions had them talking hours or minutes in between tapings. They also use “Hold To Talk” to send sweet messages via chat when one or the other is busy. The sweet “Moments” function also served as their repository for photos so they show what they're doing all throughout the day if they needed to check on each other. Now, this is the perfect chance for you to show how you use WeChat! Make sure to follow the WeChat Fans Official Account ID wechatfansph so you get tips if you want to join.

The Icon Is Back: The New Volkswagen Beetle!

It's time to share some great news. Vehicle lovers in the Philippines are rejoicing about the communique that the third generation Volkswagen icon is back. Yes, you heard that right! April 2, 2014 officially marks the return of the graven imaged BEETLE. The occasion was graced by Ayala Auto Holdings Corporation (AAHC) and Automobile Central Enterprise, Inc. (ACEI)'s Chairman Fernando Zobel de Ayala, his brother Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala and CEO John Philip Orbeta (shown on photo above). This great unveiling happened at the newly opened Philippine showroom at Bonifacio Global City with a lot spanning 6,000 square meters. It also has adapted a fully automated digital interactive showroom application that makes use of tablets and interactive monitors within the premises - making it likely to be the first in the country. 

 When they started manufacturing these Beetles in 1939, they were proud to have this represent what the brand embodies as the "People's Car". Up until 1997 they have rolled out around 21.5 Million of these units and only got redesigned in the second half of 1998. With celebrities and the popular crowd going for the more modern design, it sparked a comeback and Beetle Mania happened all over again. In 2010, they had had sold more than one million cars with the final edition of the Beetle series. Now they position themselves with a car that is going to be seen as new, modern and futuristic. A car of the 21st century and would encompass generations to come.

As Fernando Zobel de Ayala puts it, “No other car evokes as much nostalgia, tradition, and heritage as the Beetle. As such, I am especially pleased and excited to launch a car as iconic and celebrated as the one we have launched tonight”. That statement alone puts it in a class of its own. It's the car that has been told in countless stories whether in your home or in Hollywood. It might have taken shape as the bug with the same name but today it will be bolder, dynamic and engineered for play.

Design wise, you can see how it differs from the original one. The improvements are all astounding to see and feel. The new Beetle has now got an impressive sports appeal showing off its extended bonnet, a more modern swept-back windscreen plus an extended wheelbase among its many modifications. You can also feel how much room it now has with the roof space increased in the layout.

The iconic Beetle is back and its models Beetle 1.2 TSI has got a torque of 175 Nm at 1400 rpm, a power of 105 Ps at 4500 rpm and 6-speed M/T. This is pegged at a price of Php 1,590,000.00. The other Beetle 1.4 TSI model has got 240 Nm at 1500-4500 rpm torque, 160 Ps at 4500 rpm power and a 7-speed DSG transmission. It's priced at Php 1,790,000.00 if it's other colors and Php 1,840,000.00 if you want the Oryx White. Please do not hesitate to visit them at the Volkswagen Showroom in BGC located at the 28th Street City Center. They are open Monday to Thursday from 8am to 6pm, Friday and Saturday 8am to 7pm and Sunday from 9am in the morning to 6pm in the evening. You'll never experience the Beetle the same way again. The nostalgia will definitely be there, but you'll definitely appreciate the new modern look that can beset you in generations to come. For more information, please check the channels below.
